I was at a beerhall for dinner just now, and spotted a guy wearing a T-shirt bearing the likeness of the man known to my generation as Michael Knight, the man behind the wheel of the Knight Industries Two Thousand. It read,
"DON´T HASSLE THE HOFF".
I kid you not.
So again, everything ebbs and flows... I left the hostel this morning and managed to find a nice pension (guesthouse...basically a B&B as it includes breakfast even) just a few blocks away. The room is tiny, and there is a shared bathroom, but at least I have my own room, and the place is clean, quiet, and thus-far, anyways, devoid of any shit outside the toilet.
It sounds like I lucked into it as they had a last-minute cancellation. I´m not complaining. It´s just about perfect for my idea of budget travel, and reminds me a lot of the B&B I stayed at in Dingle 2 years ago. Minus the scenery and twice the price, but whatever... A huge step up from the hostel, and actually quite a bit less than I was willing to pay to get out of the hostel for tonight.
Oh yeah, while chatting with my buddy Rob the other day, who spent a few months living in Brussels for work a few years back, he mentioned that living abroad will surely teach you a lot about yourself. Along those lines, I´ve learned in the past day that it turns out I really like weiner schnitzel! Go figure. A dishonor to my German heritage, I´m embarrassed to say I really didn´t even know what it was until I got here. Breaded and fried cutlet of pork or veal, with a little bit of lemon squeezed over the top, usually served with fries or mashed potatoes?
Good stuff.
Anyways... just got done with dinner and am on my way over to check out Frülingsfest... i.e. Springfest, the ´little sister´ to Oktoberfest.

Hey Tris - well, no good news tonight on the Wings front. We lost game 1 2-0. We were flatter than crepes. I won't bore you with details. I'll just tell you it was awful.
Hopefully Saturday goes better.
Hugs,
Pat
